Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Queen Victoria Some explanation seems to be due as to the origin of this biography, and as to the form which it has assumed. At the end of 1896 I was asked by the Publishers, Messrs. Boussod, Valadon & Co., to write for them a biography of the Queen, which should be illustrated by pictures from the Royal Collections. As Librarian at Windsor Castle, I could not undertake the task without first asking and obtaining the permission of Her Majesty. Many little fables have from time to time grown up respecting the early life of Queen Victoria. It seemed, therefore, desirable to take this opportunity of correcting these inaccuracies, and, with this object, Her Majesty most graciously consented to supply notes on her childhood and youth, and at the same time to correct matters of fact, especially in reference to the period before her accession to the throne, and more generally, throughout the volume. I am therefore, enabled to present, for the first time, an accurate account of the childhood and youth of Queen Victoria.
